This session brings transformative agreements to life through compelling real-world examples, researcher voices, and measurable institutional outcomes. Moving beyond theory, attendees will explore how TAs are streamlining the path to open access publication —including testimonials from researchers and institutions about the simplicity of the process and the tangible difference it has made to their work's reach and impact. From increased citation rates and global visibility to reduced administrative burden and cost transparency, this session demonstrates why transformative agreements are reshaping the publishing landscape — one institution, one researcher, one article at a time.
